Abstract: In this article, we revisit the concept of social remittances. First, we show how people's experiences before migrating strongly influence what they do in the countries where they settle which, in turn, affects what they remit back to their homelands. Second, just as scholars differentiated between individual and collective economic remittances, we also distinguish between individual and collective social remittances. While individuals communicate ideas and practices to each other in their roles as friends, fa… Show more

“…Terrorism causes high stress to IAs and their family (Bader, Berg, & Holtbrügge, 2015), and research suggests that this will have a detrimental effect on the IAs' mood and perceived well-being with resulting negative attitudes towards their environment (Hang-yue, Foley, & Loi, 2005). This high stress level, unless organizations intercede, will result in poorer performance and IA failure (Knastenmüller et al, 2011;Levitt & Lamba-Nieves, 2011).…”

“…The issue of the impact of migration on gender and class stratification has received considerable attention in academic research. The issue as to whether migration leads to a rise or fall in the status of migrants in general, and women in particular, as a result of changes in their position in society is not conclusive, as studies show that other factors beyond migrants' individual attributes such as their cultural background and skills level, as well as the context of the countries concerned also have an impact (Iredale et al 2003;Levitt and Lamba-Nieves 2011). With regard to structural level factors, we found that links to India in the form of professional or philanthropic ties, as well as temporary visits, seem to influence the development impetus of skilled migrants.…”

“…It is concluded that the socioeconomic environment together with the social culture in the country of origin largely condition the extent to which expertise and talent from skilled migrants are effectively utilised. This shows the importance of the consideration of the cultural aspects enabling or hindering knowledge and skills circulation and deployment in the current discussion on remittances, which keeps attracting scholarly attention (Levitt and Lamba-Nieves 2011, De Haas 2011, Carling 2014. source of growth (Lucas 1988), and seeing a significant economic and social loss when the more highly educated contribute to other countries rather than their own.…”

“…Social remittances breed new ideas and influence behaviors or social commitment among migrant sending-communities and could transform social and political life. The transfer of social remittances occurs when emigrants return back home, both temporarily and permanently, and through communication via letters, emails, music, blogs, and telephone calls (Levitt & Lamba-Nieves, 2011). 7 Compared with values and norms, which are intangible and often abstract, concrete practices and behaviors are easier to transfer across borders (Levitt, 1999;Markley, 2011).…”

“…First, emigrants could contribute to the social transmission of values, norms, news, and ideas from abroad (Levitt, 1999;Levitt & Lamba-Nieves, 2011;Mahmoud, et al, 2014;Markley, 2011). Coined by Levitt (1999), the term "social remittances" refers to the transfer of norms, practices, identities, and social capital that migrants relay to their home communities.…”
